How to help children lose weight successfully?

Children nowadays often have the problem of being overweight because they love to eat all kinds of snacks and lack of exercise. Therefore, how parents can help their children lose weight successfully is an issue that many people are concerned about. Children are different from adults. They may not know the harm of obesity to health, so it is very necessary for parents to guide them to lose weight correctly.

First, proper exercise: For children in their growth period, the focus of weight loss should be on increasing energy consumption. Exercise should be naturally integrated into life so that children can happily engage in various weight loss exercises.

1. Encourage without being sarcastic. Children's young minds are very sensitive. They need to be respected and feel safe. When parents are helping their children lose weight, they should avoid using sarcastic tones or provocations. Even if you succeed in losing weight, this will cause adverse consequences. You should explain the reason and treatment plan to your children patiently and in detail to get their close cooperation.

2. Exercise should be interesting so that children can do it in a happy mood. Children do not have high requirements for losing weight, so if you want them to exercise willingly, you need to make the exercise fun and playful, and the intensity of the exercise should not cause the child to breathe too quickly or feel frustrated or failed. It is best to let children carry out activities in a warm and safe atmosphere.

3. Exercise should be done anytime and anywhere. Parents should provide children with opportunities to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary lifestyles. If the family space is large enough, you can design some convenient sports equipment and activity environment at home, or you can use weekends to organize family outings and mountain climbing activities to let children get used to exercise and then like sports.

4. The amount of exercise should be moderate. Exercise to lose weight must be done regularly and continuously. Do not engage in excessive exercise in a short period of time for the sake of quick results, so as to avoid muscle and bone pain, which may cause children to reject it due to discomfort. Among various exercise therapy programs, emphasis can be placed on some contents that use the fixed foot as the support point, such as sitting and lying exercises, swimming, table tennis, shuttlecock kicking, cycling, skating, walking, brisk walking, rowing, stretching exercises, aerobics, etc. It is best to develop a comprehensive exercise plan for your child.

Second, a reasonable diet and reasonable nutrition are the basic elements for preventing and treating obesity. You should avoid high-sugar, high-fat and high-calorie diets, do not eat snacks, and insist on exercising. Don't rely on drugs, and don't abuse weight-loss drugs. It is most appropriate to eat under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Maintain balanced nutrition. As long as you eat two small plates of vegetables, two servings of fruit, three small tablespoons of vegetable oil, about 120 grams of meat and eggs, and three bowls of rice every day, and distribute these foods evenly into three meals, you can achieve a balanced nutrition. High-sugar, high-fat, animal oil and snacks (candy, drinks, desserts, biscuits, walnuts, fried foods, peanuts, melon seeds) should be avoided.

2. Eat more brown rice and germ rice, and when you are hungry, eat low-calorie and filling foods, such as porridge.

3. The cooking should be light and not too salty. Dishes should be boiled, steamed, stir-fried or mixed cold, and vegetable oil should be the main cooking oil.

4. Let obese children develop the habit of chewing slowly. This way you can eat less because you eat slower.

5. Let your child drink soup before eating, which can reduce his food intake. Then put the edible portion on a special plate. This will make it easier to control the amount of food you eat.

6. Let your children watch TV after eating to prevent them from inadvertently overeating while reading or watching TV.

7. The principle of weight loss is to consume less than about 2100 kilojoules of calories per day. It is not advisable to change your physical condition too quickly to avoid a large loss of water and electrolytes due to rapid weight loss, which may cause harm to your body.

8. The diet of obese children must be gradually adjusted to meet the requirements of their age and the course of the disease. Each meal should be consumed according to the fixed amount of the diet, and appropriate adjustments must be made as needed. It is best to cooperate with the doctor.

9. Ask your children to develop the habit of brushing their teeth after meals, which may cause them to eat less food because they find it troublesome.

10. "Declare" your determination to help your children lose weight to your relatives and friends, and also ask your children to tell their friends that they want to lose weight, so as to strengthen their determination to lose weight through external pressure. Children have little motivation to lose weight, so parents must strongly encourage them to make progress.

If you want your child to lose weight successfully, you must start from the two major aspects mentioned above. Children will learn their parents' behavioral habits, so when guiding their children to lose weight, parents should also set a good example, change their unhealthy lifestyles, and influence their children with healthier living habits.
